My Journal

            In my opinion, this class has helped me in many ways. The first one is my writing. I think that my writing has improved a lot. At the beginning of the semester I was capable to write half a page in the free writings that we had in class. But as the time passes I wrote two pages or a little bit more. I have to admit that also at the beginning of the semester for me it was a little bit difficult to keep writing without non-stopping. That was the most difficult part for me because I hadn’t an idea in my mind of what to write. Now a day I’m capable to write without stopping because as my mom says: “Practice makes perfection”. Another thing that I have learned through this class is how to communicate with the people and how to lose that fear to be in front of a classroom and talk to them. In my opinion this is the most grateful thing that I have to be of the class. I also in this class learned the difference between a tourist and a traveler. At the beginning I thought that both of them were the same. But as the time passes I realized that they have a different meaning. For me a tourist is a person that goes to a place for pleasure and to have fun; but a traveler is a person that wants to learn more about the historical and cultural aspects of the place that is visiting. In my opinion, we all have to be travelers once in our lives because it is also important to learn and know about other places, it cannot be all just beauty. Finally I have to mention that most of my journeys that are on my journal are internal, not external. Practically what I wrote in there was I how felt and all the problems that I can have in a day and I have to overcome it. Therefore, this journal helped me to learn more about myself.
